Makes sense though. We just have to try to do it safely as we can.

That's one of the weaknesses of the West is that we've started to _care_ about things like this, but other nations don't and that means that it can potentially become a weakness that can be exploited.

The same thing is for example, the fact that if someone was racist to me in many countries I'm pretty sure nothing would happen at all versus nationals of those countries crying racism at the drop of a hat when they're in the West.

Which is a real shame because we should all be nicer to each other, but contrary to popular belief unless they behaviour is absolute across our species then it doesn't make us stronger, it makes us weaker.
